#55: Birthday Wishes & Moomintrolls.

Yesterday we woke up to find that our internet connection was not functioning properly again, only this time we interpreted it as a sign from the heavens that we should take the day off. Why? Because it was Danny's 24th birthday. Unfortunately, hours into the revelry Danny got sick. Too much excitement. If you're feeling generous, you can make him feel better by sending a birthday donation gift:

Danny mentioned my love of Harry Potter books earlier, but my first adventure book love was the Moomintrolls. They aren't trolls, they are really cute somewhat Hippo-like characters from Finland. Author Tove Jansson wrote the original books in Swedish (further proof that everything awesome has a Swedish connection) and they have been translated to 33 different languages. For some unexplained reason, they aren't as huge in the States as they are in Russia, but nevertheless: I love Moomintrolls.

If you are in the mood to check out some art go to artfaceoff.com. Love this site. The way it works is kind of like Hot or Not for art. Artists upload their images and they are rated for a month, after which the highest ranked pieces face off. The winner of the face off gets to go on to the next face off, and so on, playoff elimination style. By the way, if you want to help me out vote for me here. All 10's would be nice, but please vote for whatever you feel is appropriate.

Heart,
Nina
